As it turns out, E-20 of the Sounds of Stonebridge turned out to be a special episode, and not just because of our guest, Jeff Newman. Yesterday, Palm Beach County Mayor, Dave Kerner announced the county's plan to open many of the recreational oriented facilities to residents starting tomorrow, April 29th. Golf is included in this new order. But before we get to that, we were joined by Jeff Newman. Jeff is very well known around Stonebridge for the many things he does both for the club and the community. Jeff discussed his philosophy around philanthropy and why he does all of the things that he does together with his wife Judy. Jeff works very closely with the Jewish Federation(s) both in Philadelphia where he is from and also down here in Boca Raton, where he splits his time. During a crisis like what we are facing, the South Palm Beach Jewish Federation has been feeding those people that are not able to get out and care for themselves. Jeff said that on any given day, there might be over 100 volunteers pitching in to help out. Plus, they are providing funds for people like single mothers that need help with utility and related bills. After that, Jeff Hall gave a good rundown of the rules and guidelines that we will use here at Stonebridge as we are able to get back on the golf course starting Wed April 29th. It's gonna be a bit of a crunch early till the golf staff can get into the swing of things. Jeff stated that we will be adhering to the guidelines that the county has set and in some cases might even exceed them as his first goal is the safety and health of the the members and his staff. Right now you best bet to grab a tee time is to send in an email or call the Pro Shop
